Figure Skating

While most guys my age are involved in football, soccer, basketball, or some other similarly popular sport, I'm a die-hard figure skater. I've been taking private lessons and practicing several times a week since I was about 7 years old. I've been in a multitude of competitions, progressing all the way to the Juvenile level. Currently, I am working on making my double jumps more consistent, and I am already beginning to work on my triples. I used to have Olympic aspirations, but nowadays I skate mostly because I enjoy it and it helps keep me in shape.
